This week I really enjoyed the Monster activity we did. I have done that with drawing pictures before but never with writing and I thought it was really entertaining. All the talk about different kind of poetry, and sound poetry made me think of this kind of poem that I don't remember whether or not we mentioned it in class...It's something with the word Unlawful and it's where you write out someone's name, like for example, the name Meg. For the first stanza you write something about Meg without using the letter M because that's the first letter in her name, and so on. All those kinds of poems take a lot of skill and time to write and it just impresses me overall whenever I read one.

I read ahead on the assignments for the next few weeks and I noticed they are getting longer. I'm getting nervous but I think work-shopping with the whole class as a whole is going to be helpful in strengthening our poem writing skills.
